Dr. Turner and Mike Kittner discuss the crucial topic of disability insurance for doctors. They explore common pitfalls and nightmares experienced by doctors in securing disability insurance and emphasize the importance of obtaining coverage during medical training. Mike shares real-life stories about the consequences of not disclosing full medical histories and missing out on guaranteed standard issue (GSI) policies. 

They also highlight why Guardian's GSI policies are highly beneficial, especially their unique fallback option that prevents denial nightmares. Detailed explanations are given on why considering fully underwritten policies might be beneficial, the advantages of graded premiums, and the significant role of independent insurance agents. The episode underscores the necessity of getting disability insurance while in training and offers actionable advice on how to avoid common mistakes.
